Justin Gaethje needed a win at UFC Fight Night 135, and ‘The Highlight’ rose to the occasion and came up big against top-ten lightweight contender, James Vick.
After back-to-back stoppage losses to Eddie Alvarez and Dustin Poirier, fans were beginning to question whether or not the former World Series of Fighting lightweight champion was cut out for the big leagues.
Gaethje silenced the doubters with a first-round knockout win in the UFC Fight Night 135 main event, crumpling Vick with a big overhand right and taking home yet another Performance of the Night bonus.
